A new rooba has been rerleased. It's called the neato Xv-11 All-Floor robotic vacuum cleaner. It doesn't use the normal roomba shape. It's not really a roomba at all since it's made by neato robotics. It's the next generation of roomba. Check it out at neatorobotics.com .

A team of developers had some fun hacking five Roombas to create a new version of the Pac-Man game. The Pac-Man bot sucks up white rectangles while being chased by robot Inky, Pinky, Blinky, and Clyde. When Pac-Man finds a power pellet the ghostly Roombas turn blue and start running away. It’s meant to be a demonstration of the developers’ Unmanned Aerial System suite, designed for guidance of airborne vehicles. Check out the video:

Toyota has developed a Delivery Robot to help people with limited mobility. It’s designed to retrieve items for people, hence the name. It will also open doors, take out the trash, get food etc. The prototype uses a laser range finder to determine its position and navigate through your house in real time.

The thing about surviving the coming apocalypse is, even if you have all of the guns in the world, you need to know where to hit ‘em. So why not get some target practice in with a real Cylon Centurion target, as seen on BSG. It's available over at Quantum Mechanix.

Instead of replacing the St. Louis Zoo’s deceased polar bears with live ones, zoo officials have put robots up in their place. Someone should tell them that this defeats the entire purpose of a Zoo. I mean you can see robotic animals anywhere on the web! (I suggest the website you're reading right now) When I go to a zoo, I expect to see live animals in captivity.

Anyhow, this may be the beginning of something I’ve seen coming for a long time. This could be the first step toward comple...

Today I got a new robot. It is made by Wowwee. It's really cute. It crawls and has LED eyes that light up green. Can you guess what it is. It's a mini robopanda! I really like it too. It's not very smart but what did you expect for $8.99?! Anyway I like it and it was a gift so I would be happy if it didn't even have LED eyes. Hooray for free robots. Continue reading...
